The singer was seen on his way to the cafe Wednesday morning when the paparazzi began taking his pictures. Justin scolded them for being money-driven and asked them to leave the premises. The photographers did not stop recording as the father of one continued to call them out.

As the clip circulated on social media, fans came to Justin's defense, justifying his reactions and noting that the Baby hitmaker has been subjected to cameras and paparazzi since the start of his stardom.

Some argued that confronting the paparazzi wouldn’t stop their behavior, though they acknowledged that Justin had a valid point.

"confronting paparazzi is never the solution....though he is spouting facts yet the best way is to avoid or just move on", wrote one.
"He's right. But it's the same for the entertainment industry. They only care if you can make money for them", said another.

"They're treating him like they did Britney Spears in 2007. This is sad. Leave this man alone", said one more.

Justin Bieber approached two people who were holding their phone cameras in his face and asked them to leave by shooing them away. He told them again while continuing his money gesture:

"All you care about guys, is money. You don't care about people. Only money."

Despite the singer's plea, as Justin Bieber turned to enter the cafe, the paparazzi continued to hold their cameras to film him.
